Sean had a doctor appointment today...he's gaining well (up to 10 lbs 14 ounces)! That's over a pound gained in the last 2 weeks : )

Kellan loves to "mow" the lawn...(Thanks Ian and Chantelle for the great B-day gift). And a BIG thank you to Aunt Anne, Jane, and Aunt Kathy (of course Uncle Everett and Uncle Gary) for the FABULOUS stroller!! We plan to put a whole lot of miles on it : )

Lots of Love
Katie, Kellan and Sean

 

 

 

Sean was a patient onlooker while Kellan helped me make blueberry pancakes this morning. It turned into lots of blueberries and a little pancake...tubby time followed - out of necessity : )

P.S. Notice the "big boy pants" over the diaper...Kellan insists on wearing them ; )

 

 

 

 

We finally saw the sun today and it was warm enough to be outside without a jacket. Kellan wants to spend as much time as possible outside, so we try to oblige. I'll post more pics of Sean later, but I wanted to share these shots of Kellan from this morning. He's caught between being big brother and "baby." A few times, he's walked around with Sean's pacifier in his mouth and has learned to use his stool to climb into the baby's bassinet. This morning, he climbed in with his "dada" (his name for any airplane...or helicopter). Kellan talked about Dada a lot today so this evening, we took a ride out to the airport to spend some time. We didn't get to see any planes come in, but it was just special to be at a place that held so many memories and was so special to daddy.

We love you daddy...always,
Kellan and Sean

 

 

 

Here are some new pics of Sean from tonight...he's so sweet...just chilling out : )

While Sean had his photo shoot,Kellan was watching the boys next door play baseball (from his bed)...it makes him so happy ; )

I'm also posting a video and the "resulting" picture. I tried to get a nice "head shot" of the boys together - they did not cooperate! I'm glad that I am not a photographer...I'd get fired for sure : )They don't look very happy in the pic...but they do look alike : )

Good Night!

 

 

 

 

I'll try to post some new pics of Sean later today... Since it was finally nice outside (there has been far to much cold weather and rain!), we were able to get to the park. I wanted to post this little video of Kellan. He loves to be busy : )

A rainy day

These pictures are a few days old, but I know that you are not visiting the blog to read what I have to say, so I thought I'd post some cute faces : )

Today was a rainy day and a perfect excuse to relax(as if we need one). We had a nice time being "stuck" in the house. Kellan was content to stay inside and only asked to go "ba-bye" (AKA: "outside") once. This evening, He spent at least 45 minutes watching a football (AKA: Soccer) game on TV ... he loves sports and needs to have a project going all the time - he gets that from his daddy for sure!

Kellan helped Gramma Denno put together a little shelf and did a really great job. He used the hammer (with monitoring of course) very safely and with remarkable accuracy! (no nails...he just helped to pound in some little, plastic "finisher" pieces).

Sean is truly precious and, although Kellan went through a couple days of jealousy, he is back to loving his brother fully (sometimes roughly) and he monitors him constantly. He wakes up asking about the baby and goes to bed only after giving kisses. He is a precious boy...

Sean is a really good baby and only cries when he needs to eat or be changed...what a cutie...he's beginning to spend more time awake and alert...big wide eyes taking it all in...what a blessing!

Gramma Denno got a new camera and there is no rest in sight! She took some pics of the boys and here they are as she requested : )

Enjoy,
Katie

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In just the right setting, we can see a bit of a resemblance : )

Hello All,

I've not been good about taking or posting pics, but I took these after some morning baths and thought I'd share.

I know that I've not yet mentioned Carl in this blog since Sean was born. It was intentional. I made an effort not to sadden those who already miss him too much. I see now that it was a mistake. I have been living it fully and face the reality of Carl's absence every day. Filling out Sean's baby book and not being able to write about Daddy's first reaction to his birth has been very emotional. We will continue to post here and miss daddy much more than we talk about it. I am enjoying these boys though and so grateful for the gift that Carl has left behind.

God Bless,
Katie

 

 

Here are a couple of pics from this afternoon. Kellan woke from his nap with very curly hair...

 

 

 

Happy birthday Sean...1 week old today!
